On the soil profiles under typical planted and natural secondary forests in Simian Mountains of Chongqing City，soil saturated hydraulic conductivity(K_s) was measured by the constant-hydraulic head method，and the correlations between K_s and soil physical features and organic matter contents were established using multivariate regression and path analysis． The results show that，the values of K_s decreased negatively exponentially with increasing soil depths． Comparing to the control，K_s was significantly improved in all the forests，with effects in a descending order as: natural secondary Conifer × Broadleaf forest land ＞ natural secondary Broadleaf forest，Phyllostachys pubescens forest，Conifer forest land ＞ Broadleaf plantation，Conifer × Broadleaf plantation，Conifer plantation land ＞ wasteland． Soil clay content，bulk density，non-capillary porosity and ＞0． 25 mm aggregate content were the key factors affecting K_s． The Forests encouraged effectively the accumulation of organic matters in the soils． The relationship between K_s and organic matter was well described with quadratic equations． Mixed mode of Conifer × Broadleaf with multiple layers is recommended in forest plantation and management．
